This camera is completely not worth fixing, but some part of me wants to actually waste a roll of film with it. Kind of a long shot, looking for repair info on an obscure low end folder, but here it goes.
I saved this thing from the trash a few weeks ago, but noticed the shutter was running more or less at one faster speed. I tore it down and found that a spring had popped off of part of the slow speed mechanism.
Does anyone have an idea how this thing goes back together? The spring in question is on the right side of this picture:
The correct position for the bottom/left side of that spring is obvious, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the upper/right end is supposed to go (it is currently just resting against part of the slow speed mech. with no tension).
In addition, is the spring on the left set up properly? It had popped off, but I think I managed to get it in the correct position. Also, are the various mechanisms in this shutter designed to run dry or with light lubrication?
Thanks!

Give me a little time to find mine and open it back up. It was pretty nasty inside, so I decided not to fix it, but the springs might still be in place.

Okay, it was my other Speedex that was a rusty piece of crap. This one looks serviceable (if it had a decent bellows).

That is exactly the picture I needed to see. Thank you very much!
